Abstract
This dataset shows the carbon dioxide (CO2) trunk pipelines in the contiguous United States that will be required by 2050 to connect CO2 spur pipelines to CO2 storage basins under a net-zero-emissions scenario with high biomass supply. For an overview of this "E-B+" high-biomass scenario, please refer to the "supplemental information" portion of this record.
Purpose
For visualizing carbon dioxide pipelines using GIS software. A growing number of pledges are being made by major corporations, municipalities, states, and national governments to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. As part of the Net-Zero America Project, this dataset provides granular guidance on what getting to net-zero really requires and on actions needed to translate these pledges into tangible progress.
Supplemental Information
The E-B+ scenario, or high-biomass scenario, is one of five defined pathways whereby the United States can become carbon-neutral by 2050, as detailed in the Net-Zero America report of December 2020. Between 2020 and 2050, the E-B+ scenario assumes: 1) a less high degree of end-use electrification in transportation and buildings, 2) a minimum of 10% yearly growth in wind and solar, 3) an 80-year life for 50% of existing nuclear power, 4) no new nuclear power in California, and 5) the ongoing use of fossil fuels. By 2050, the E-B+ scenario further assumes: 1) carbon dioxide storage of no more than 1.8 Gt/y, 2) carbon dioxide emissions of -0.17 Gt, and 3) a biomass supply limit of 23 EJ/y or 1.3 Gt/y biomass.
